If the heat is causing discomfort and anxiety like symptoms
another thing you could do is put a cool wet cloth on the back of your neck (near your vagus nerve)
this can help slow your heart and stabalize o² and co²

doc suggested it for ME and it seems to help a bit

Exactly, I used it too during my bicycle vacations. Though it looks a little weird. I am sorry you experiece' things like that Zaini.
Today we had our first 25C day and I have all my windows open to welcome fresh cold air. :)
I hope this thing does the trick for you.

Yes I do that too, but on my forehead and sometimes my feet (if i'm home).

I also have a gel ice pack at home, that doesnt turn into hard ice - so it feels comfortable cool.

But going out is definitely a problem, because the hot and cold together can cause problems. Regular temperature wet cloth is a very good idea of course. :-)

Confused, i m confused,

As said in posts above that thal remains hot makes me confused.

I remains cold during most part of the day, even right now my chest, abdomen and upper arm areas are cold.

I asked once my pediatrician about this coldness and even with high sugar level(at that time) my lower arm was very cold but he was unable to answer and said very frankly "Don't Know why it is happening?

I t i s Confusing

During hypoglycemia my body turns cold and numb. I experience low sugar levels frequently.

It is in addition to "HYPO" time.
I always take one or two unit less than what is prescribed because doc will not come to rescue after prescription and my goal is <200 level.
Due to Hypo body suffer more weakness so it is better to avoid hypo and to have mild hyperglycemia.

Dharmesh,

Is your thyroid hypo? It is common among thals and will also cause one to feel cold easily, as is the case with me.


The reason that thal usually causes people to feel hotter is the heat released by the ongoing hemolysis.

Neither I. I decide my own doses, haha. But sometimes I couldn't save it from happening and it turns occurs unexpectedly.

My goal is also less than 200 but my levels decreases also rapidly and increases at the same pace as well. Though I got my dose reduced a bit since last few days.

Oh God Please, If you live on earth, please don't gift me Thyroid,
I know You believe in me but keep me away from more consequences.

Dear Andy i was talking about Sugar Hypo due to Diabetes i.e. Hypoglycemia.

My favorite doc. has suggested me to do Thyroid tests bi-annually.
This is the latest one done on 16.08.12
 
T3 = 1.243ng/ml (0.56-1.88)
T4 = 49.8 mmol/l (59-153)
TSH = 2.748  µIU/ml (Adult 0.4-4.0)
Even i shown this report to Endo. but he didn't comment.

Previous TSH on 21.02.12
TSH  = 1.66 mU/L (0.3-5.5)
